FARRAGUT ENTERING MOBILE BAY. 



' Forging boldly ahead, 
The great Flag-Ship led, 

Grandest of sights! 
On her lofty mizzen flew 
Our Leader's dauntless Blue, 

That had waved o'er twenty fights — 
So we went, with the first of the tide, 

Slowly, mid the roar 

Of the rebel guns ashore 
And the thunder of each full broadside. 



"Then in that deadly track, 
A little the ships held back. 
Closing xip in their stations — 
There are minutes that fix the fate 

Of battles and of nations, 

(Christening the generations) 
When valor were all too late, 

If a moment's doubt be harbored — 
From the main-top, bold and brief, 
Came the word of our grand old Chief — 

'Go on!'— 'twas all he said — 
Our helm was put to starboard, 
And the Hartford passed ahead." 

Henry Howard Brownell.

"Who could fail, with him? 
Who reckon of life or limb? 

Not a pulse but beat the higher ! 
There had you seen, by the star-light dim, 
Five hundred faces strong and grim — 

The Flag is going under fire ! 
Right up by the fort, with her helm hard-a-port, 
• The Hartford is going under fire!"

23d US. C. T., No. 224 Wethersfield Ave., Hartford, I am 
"""^ rfi to P.^bhsh the illustration (p. 39) of The Headboard 
and Oihcial Mail Bag of the frigate Hartford. Mr. Eldridcre 
writes as follows : *=" 

" ^^^ Hariford having had two gangways, she thus had 
tour headboards, of which I have one, and this the most 
historic, as it was the forward ' starboard ' one of the four 
and, the 'starboard ' side being the side of honor, all notables 
came and went by it, and nothing could be more natural 
than that when a person was leaving the vessel he would 
rest the hand on the oval top of the headboard to steady 
himself in making a turn to gain the landing at the head of 
the outside stairway. In fact, the top is polished as smooth 
as glass by such constant handling. Among those so using 
it were the unmatched Farragut, his able assistants, and 
many others who have long since received their final 
* muster out.' 

"The Headboard was removed from the Hartford in 
1865 when she was remodeled. 

"In the same connection I would say that I have the of- 
ficial headquarters mail bag, pertaining to the West Gulf 
blockading squadron, and which (with one other) went back 
and forth from the flagship to headquarters of the naw at 
Washington. It is marked on the outside to this effect, and 
contained documents of vast importance."

n.vKTFOKi), Conn., July 31, 1897. 
To His Honor Miles B. Preston, Mayor of Hart/or d : 

Dear Sik :— In the name and by the authority of Commodore Philip Hichborn, 
Chief Constructor of the Navy, I have the honor to present through you to the 
City of Hartford the figure-head borne by the famous warship, Hartford, during 
her noble record as a defender of the Union. 

It was detached during recent repairs and reconstructions, and the Commo- 
dore, into whose possession it came, has had it thoroughly cleaned, painted, and, 
in part, gilded. 

The outside dimensions of the box containing it are : length, six feet, nine and 
three-fourths inches ; width, three feet, four inches ; depth, three feet, five inches. 
The weight of the figure-head, or "billet-head," is three hundred and sixty-nine 
pounds ; of the box, three hundred and fifty-nine pounds ; total, seven hundred 
and twenty-eight pounds. 

Upon the City's acceptance of the gift, addressed to Commodore Hichborn, 
it will become and remain subject to the City's order, to be addressed to the 
Commandant of the Navy Yard, Washington, D. C. The charges for transport- 
ation will fall upon the City. Very respectfullj^ yours, 

J. R. HAWLEY. 

COPY OF LF,TTER SENT TO PHILIP HICIIHOKN, CHIEF CONSTRUCTOR, U. S. NAVY. 

August 16, 1897. 
Co.MMODORE Philip Hichborn : 

I am advised by Senator J. R. Hawley that in your name and by your 
authority he presents to this city the figure-head borne by the famous warship 
Hartford, during the war lor the Union. This thoughtful act of courtesy on 
your part arouses universal interest and gratitude in our citizens. At the first 
meeting of the City Government, official action will be taken and acceptance 
forwarded to you. Respectfully, 

M. B. PRESTON, Mayor. 

Hartford, Conn., ^ug. 23, 1897. 
To the Honorable Court of Common Council : 

Gentlemen : — I present herewith a letter addressed to me as the Mayor of 
the City, by Hon. Joseph R. Hawley, U. S. Senator. 

I am since in receipt of a letter from Wm. P. Allen, Head of Department of 
Construction and Repairs, Navy Yard, Washington, D. C, saying that by di- 
rection of Commodore Philip Hichborn, Chief of Bureau of Construction and 
Repairs, U. S. Navy, the figure-head of the Hartford \s in transit to this city. I 
believe there is much interest felt by all our citizens for this historic relic of the 
famous warship that so honorably bore our city's name in the memorable naval 
engagements where she took part in the War for the Union, and that they, with 
veterans of the naval service, some of whom served with Farragut when this 
vessel was that distinguished officer's flagship, would be glad to take part in a 
suitable demonstration and exercises at the reception of and placing this gift. 
I recommend, therefore, the appointing of a committee to consider this matter, 
and to present to your honorable body at a subsequent meeting such recom- 
mendation as they may de\"ise for your approval. 

MILES B. PRESTON, Mayor.
